[Verse I: Akon]
So soft and slow
Never knew, a girl could be so goddamn cold
I know the way she move got me spendin' my dough, and yo
If you would have seen what I seen on that pole, just know

[Pre-Chorus: Akon]
That I was wrong for fallin' in love (love)
I was wrong for fallin' in love (they always said don't love a ho)
Said I was wrong for fallin' in love (love, don't do it yo)
I was wrong for fallin in love (they always said don't love a ho)
But I just went against the grain

[Chorus: Akon]
It was a feelin' I can't explain, and it felt like harmony
Singin in my face like dee-dee-da-di-do-da-de
I don't want it to ever go away
I want it around me everyday
Singin in my face like dee-dee-da-di-do-da-de

[Verse II: Ray Lavender]
Look at me, I'm stuck
The bubble in her pants got me caught up, I never had no luck
Thinkin with the wrong head got me jumpin' out there with no glove
It feels so good, had me sprung out on that stuff, now I'm stuck

[Pre-Chorus: Ray Lavender & Akon]
That's what I get for fallin' in love (love)
That's what I get for fallin' in love (they always said don't love a ho)
That's what I get for fallin' in love (love, don't do it yo)
That's what I get for fallin' in love (they always said don't love a ho)
But I just went against the grain

[Chorus: Akon & Ray Lavender]
It was a feelin' I can't explain (woah), and it felt like harmony (harmony)
Singin in my face like dee-dee-da-di-do-da-de (uuh)
I don't want it to ever go away (I don't)
I want it around me everyday (Uh, oh yeah)
Singin in my face like dee-dee-da-di-do-da-de (Woah, yeah)

[Verse III: Akon]
So thick, so raw
That oil all over her body stole my heart, I'm cold
The way she dropped down won't allow me to close my jaw, cause I'm
Already in love and I knew better from the start, oh no

[Pre-Chorus: Akon]
That I was wrong for fallin' in love (love)
I was wrong for fallin' in love (they always said don't love a ho)
Said I was wrong for fallin' in love (love, don't do it yo)
I was wrong for fallin in love (they always said don't love a ho)
But I just went against the grain

[Chorus: Akon]
It was a feelin' I can't explain (explain), and it felt like harmony (yeah)
Singin in my face like dee-dee-da-di-do-da-de (do-da-de)
I don't want it to ever go away (I don't)
I want it around me everyday (everyday)
Singin in my face like dee-dee-da-di-do-da-de (yeah)
It was a feelin' I can't explain (can't explain), and it felt like harmony (harmony)
Singin in my face like dee-dee-da-di-do-da-de (uh yeah)
I don't want it to ever go away (away)
I want it around me everyday (everyday)
Singin in my face like dee-dee-da-di-do-da-de (he)

Akon

Akon (born Aliaume Akon Thiam), is a Senegalese-American Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling rapper, songwriter, singer and businessman. His trademark is singing the word ‘convict’ at the beginning of most of his songs.

Akon was born in the US but spent much of childhood in the West African country Senegal. There, he learned to play five instruments including the djembe, guitar and drums. Early on Akon signed a deal with Elektra Records, but was later dropped from the label.

His career took off when Lil Zane introduced Akon to music executive DeVyne Stephens, who signed him to his label UpFront Records and became his longtime manager and business partner.
